Baseball: National League Divisional Predictions

In the NL East, the Washington Nationals are a big favorite. I predict they will outlast an upstart New York Mets team and win the division.

In the NL Central it will be the St. Louis Cardinals and pretty easily.

In the NL West the heavily favored Los Angeles Dodgers will outlast an upstart San Diego Padres team and win the division.

Sadly, two wild card teams will join the division winners in the playoffs.

I will not pick the wild card teams but recognize, as was the case with the current world champion San Francisco Giants, what a viable threat to win the title that wild card teams pose.
